Abstract: Fifteen conformers of the CHF2 – (CH2)6 – CH3 molecule were found. Within a «quantum theory of atoms in molecules», their equilibrium geometry, total energies and the electron structure were studied. Analysis and comparison of electron parameters revealed in some structures a steric effect from CHF2.

Keywords: steric effect, electronegativity, quantum theory of atoms in molecules, electron charge density, fluorinealkanes.
